Hi everyone

I am facing an issue my laptop fans has mark of dust and I want to clean the fans but issue is my laptop is just 2 months old and it is still in warranty is it okay to open the laptop for cleaning or just leave it until the warranty ends

Since you live in Saudi Arabia I suspect that is more likely to be sand.

You can clean it by using either PC compressed air in a can or air from a compressor at less than 5 psi(.34 bar).

Hello Raxor64.

As seen on your laptop's manual, full access to the fans comes easily, simply by removing the bottom cover. So if you're extra careful while removing the bottom cover (not to damage it), I don't see any reason at all you can't pop your laptop open and get rid of those "dust bunnies". 😉
